Chez Faby

Got to try a few more items at Chez Faby today and was really happy with what we got! I was very impressed by the presentation of the burrata salad that my girlfriend got. My sandwich breakfast was great too, with fries, and a bacon and egg sandwich on a baguette. The cafe was extremely busy and yet the waitresses/kitchen still managed to get us our food in a reasonable amount of time.

For Sunday breakfast, we decided to visit Chez Faby, a charming French restaurant located in downtown. The restaurant was about 30 minutes from our place, and we were lucky enough to find a parking spot nearby.Chez Faby is an intimate place with a delightful French brunch menu. We were promptly seated and given menus to peruse. For coffee, we ordered an Iced Latte, and for breakfast, we chose the Eleonore Benedict, Eggs Avocado Salmon, and a Croissant Aux Cookies.The Iced Latte arrived quickly and was the perfect start to breakfast, with almost no sugar, just as I prefer. The croissant followed soon after--it was delicious, crispy, and undoubtedly one of the best croissants we've had.Our main breakfast dishes, the Eleonore Benedict and Eggs Avocado Salmon, arrived shortly after. Both dishes were incredibly tasty, packed with flavor, and full of protein. They were fulfilling and made for an amazing breakfast experience.Chez Faby is an amazing French restaurant with delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. It was the perfect way to start our Sunday morning.

This beautiful little French Cafe is located on the corner of Tampa St & Madison st. It gives European vibes with seating outside on both sides of the corner. Fresh made baguettes & croissants! We tried the breakfast sandwich which came on the baguette and the Eleonore Benedict which comes on a croissant. The service was very friendly, they were very welcoming and accommodating with our 3 year old. Highly recommend!

Updated review - this place is still awesome. One of our favorite cafes in tampa. Great French cafe that offers a variety of breakfast/lunch items. Although my bf and I stick mainly to the breakfast items. The lunch items look yummy as well! Their coffee is great!! Iced or hot! Croissants are ALWAYS fresh, I get one every visit. Baguettes, French toast, crepes, ALL GREAT. They even have certain limited menu items that change every so often. We come here various times a month and the service is always great, love that we get served and they don't rush us to leave. Great first date spot to just sit and chat as well!!

Stopped for a quick coffee before hitting the water this morning. If I'm being honest, it doesn't look like much from the outside but the French inspired cafe is actually adorable. Located in the heart of downtown Tampa. They have the outside setup with bistro tables and chairs, Parisian style. Sweet girl working was happy to help with our to go coffee order. We parked on the street and hopped in and out. We were there early so parking didn't seem to be an issue but I imagine during normal business hours may be hard to find a spot. Breakfast menu looked amazing but didn't have time to indulge. Coffee was a hit.Tip: don't judge a book by its cover

Fresh warm bread with egg and bacon and French roasted coffee , delicious!! Service was quick and friendly. Clean and nice decor

Really enjoyed a petite breakfast at Chez Faby. I opted for a croissant with butter & jam, a latte macchiato and a mimosa while my husband and had the croissant Paris and a coffee mocha.Everything was delicious! Service was quick, accommodating and kind. I truly could have been in France. This is a great spot I will visit again when back in Tampa.

Just wow. The baguette breakfast sandwich is just devine because the baguette is baked in house. It absolutely rivals any French bakery. The croissants are flaky and buttery. The service is top notch. The coffee is strong and delicious. We found this place by accident, but we are going back tomorrow

Good breakfast with a french twist. Eggs benedict for breakfast with plain friend home fries were good nothing over the top notable but the almond croissant to go was great quality and quite delicious. Every place in the area is pricy so they were in line with other places. $17 for eggs benedict and a small amount of potatoes. Would reccomend, but lacks atmosphere. Although Great friendly service

I have never written a Yelp review. I do so today, Sunday, March 2, 2025, because while my teenagers and I ate a delicious French breakfast at the bar, we couldn't help but notice 1. How hard the staff were working to keep up with the demand on such a tiny, cute little place, and 2. How absolutely sh**ty entitled people were acting when they couldn't get what they wanted right away, and particularly 3. The angry man shouting about how he was going to leave a bad review because of his perception of how they were seating guests and that little Violet Beauregard MF wanted to be taken care of first, godammit!This is to him: listen, AH, you're not at a smoothly run corporate restaurant with tons of seating and enough staffing for a host, bussers, or runners. There's maybe 3-4 people cooking and dishwashing in the kitchen and literally one owner/manager and two lovely servers, all of whom appeared to speak English as a second language. They are doing the absolute best they can busting their asses on this beautiful Sunday morning and you had to be a little bitch. Stay home if you can't be polite.Chez Faby, thank you for being wonderful and I'm so sorry you have to deal with people like that. Five stars on food and service!
